At Gregorio Chavez School, a room full of parents comes for a follow up workshop to learn more about problem solving with their children and enhanced relationships with the teachers.

Team members Caroline, Jessica, and Vanessa act out a skit illustrating a problem-solving process while Project Coordinator Amy Clarey holds up a cue card for the audience and Project GA Christine Benton cheers them on.

Parents then “dig in,” using the cue cards and processes modeled. They develop their own skits to illustrate new ways to handle touchy parent-student situations, and then to communicate their ideas with the teachers.
